Where waterooursee aloeg highway e be -

to be in bad condition. Where then:tenure
heaps of so many farintere, as in • this wet
season, are permitted to, leach and the
most valuable portion ie elbowed to run off
in a convenient watemoutee and be wasted,
the intelligence of, suola mienis ceetainly,
clogged up. When a pereou employs a
scrub male of any eine for breeding ,he
clogs up his finenoiat interhsts. If the soil
is tilled when too dry or too wet, or crape
are not thoroughly cultivated in gesson,
the orop prospects will be clogged up. If
briers, bashes and weed be not subdued,
they will clog up useita vegetation When
, buildings and fences become dilapidated, the
, owner clogs up a beautilul farm view—
that rniglete be. If the deiryname does not
premerly oath or hee'cows and always treat
them kindly, he clop up bis milk and hot-
ter prospects. Quarreleoine neighbors clog
up their own happiness, a. scolding woman
or man completely °loge up the , pleasure of
the entire household., The man' who liee,
°heats or deceives in any manner, clogs up
his personal welbbeing here and hereafter.
There is one kind of clogging up which is
always commendable, and that is clogging
up the avenues to error and sin.
Ergs That Will Seep.
One of the secrets which we again im.
presa on readers is that eggs intended to be
. stored, away for fall or winter use should
be from hens not in compete): with males.
The hens will lay just its many eggs when
no melee are present as with them, and
there will be lesa cost of food to be con-
sumed by non -producers: A fertile egg
• will spoil in one.fourth the time of an in.
fertile agg. One ontheeturest ague that an
egg is fertile is that it quickly becomes
dale. We have had infertile eggs
placed in an incubator, kept therein at a
temperature of 103 0, and when removed
e they were but little damaged, some of
them being suitable for "bakers." The
eggs containing the germs of chicks, if not
progressing in incubation, would become
spoiled in a week or ten days: If eggs can
be kept for three weeks ia an inanbator at
103 0 they will easily keep in a cool place
for three months. As so much depends oh
the kind of eggs to store away, it is not only
eheaper, but the results will be much more
satisfactory.
A Pretty Sofa Pillow.
mended for young ohicke, we have always
had excellent snot:esti with dale bread arid
oatmeal, fed in the dry condition, until
the chicks are ten days old, when they
may theo be gived‘oracked corn and wheat
sorest:0gs, also., Too much soft food is
not ,wheleprne for it hens. Chioks prefer
dry fired,' and it served the purpose better
and entails lees labor in preparation. Corn
bread alone is insufficient, but it may be
improved when dipped in milk.
Notefi Worth Reading,
A prominent ,hortioutturist states that
by placing tomato leaves around the trimke
of trees, and also by sprinkling roses and
cabbages with a decoetion prepared by
steeping tomato leaves, in water, ineeotti
did not disturb them. Vale is worth a
trial.
Manure may fail to giveegood reenits the
first year and show well the next. Much

Ib cannot afford food to plants until it de.
composes and its. soluble , material can be
appropriated.
- It "has been dallied* that Hungarian
grass is equal to timothy, and that barley
is an excellent late green crop. '
Piling up the manurein the stables may
convenient but the health of the ani-
als will no be promoted thereby. There
should be a place for thvinianure" as well as
for everything else.
4,The most effeotual way, fer 'determining
th'e requirements of a soil for -the *due-
, iOn,of any particular crop is to test the
question with different kinds and combina-
tions of manures.
Manure is most valuable when the
liquids and solids have - been saved to.
gether. Neither is a complete fertilizer
alone, but' 'together they supply all the
demands of crops. d

The vast amount of wealth oarried aevey
by the sewers of the great oltiee is

prices of fertilizers greatly reduced,.
It must be clear to any man With the
most ordinary busineas instincts that 'good
roads mean thrift, liberality and weelth.
They mean good farms and good real
estate values. They mean that the farmer
enjoying their 'use will nye time going
over them, will save wear and tear not
only on his waggons but on his teeme.
The manure heap is the sevings bink of
the farm. If any artioles are unsalable, or
cannot be put to some use on the farm,
they should be added to the manure heap
itt order that they may be teturned to the
land, and thereby made to contribute to
the production of something better the next
season. Nothing is lost that goes into the
manure heap, especially if the manure is
managed with a view to having it as vain -
able as possible betore applying it to the
soil.
Make your pillow any °jet to suit. Cover
both sides with eatin of same color. Get
two rolls of two shades of No. 7 ribbon
that will harmonize with each other and
also with the satin. Cut into 9.inch strips
and fasten the ends; other one edge, draw
up tightly and fasten. Put four wheels of
one color in the centre to form a square,
aight of the other color around the four,
and so on, alternating celore till large
enough to cover the satin. Finish the edge'
with fancy cord. Yon can commence with
one wheel in centre and have a six -sided
-cushion, whioh vtould be pretty finished
around the edges with puffed satin, and
the ribbon wheel cover laced to back over
the satin with silk cord. These wheelie
make pretty tidies, cushions, eto., teeiteg

Clipping and Shearing.
An ornamental hedge, to maintain its
natural vigor and beauty, should never be
-sheared; but always clipped to keep it,
within bounds. Shearing Oyes it an un-
naturally even and compact exterior,
.shatting out the light Irene the inside, and
preventing the growth of leaves in the in-'
terior. Clipping, or outtine off protrudingi
branches (by taking the longest of two at la
fork), keeps the hedge within bounds, with
a natural growth. The London Garden,
epeaking on this subject, says that well -
kept hawthorne hedges never produce
blossoms. This would bo the aerie with all
oloselyetheared hedges ; but if merely
clipped, so as to retain something of the
gr, natural growth of the exterior, flowers
r might be produced to a moderate extent.

' Wooden rem
Wooden troughs are excellent for hold-
ing the drinking water for fowls, but there
is one thing to be guarded against, and that
is, they will become filthy and slimy.' •In
such oases they should be cleaned With
,soap and warm water, rinsed and refilled.
The drinking water is often contaminated
by a diseased fowl, and this endangers the'
health of others, but more so when the
etroughs aro unclean. Drinking fountains
are not easily cleaned, but they should be

Eventful Career of Mme. Tussand.
Everybody hae heard of Mina. 'resealed
and her collection of waxworks •in London.
This celebrated lady died just forty years
ago to day. In her museum were many
counterfeit representations of the persons
who figured in the French revolution, but
few of the visitors to her establishment itt
Baker street, London, suspected that the
figures had been modeled from life. . Mme.
Turkana actually lived among these men
and framed their portaits from direct
observation. It waelme business one day
to model the horrible countenance of the
ageassinated Marat, whom she detested,
and on another to imitate the features of
his beautiful slayer, Charlotte ,Corday,
whom she admired and loved. Now, she
had a Princess Lamballe in her hands;
then a Robespierre. At one time she was
herself in prison, in imminent danger of
falling a victim to the all -devouring gnillo.
tine. She had for her associates Dime.
Beanbarnais and her child, the grand-
mother and mother of Emperor Napoleon
III. Escaping from France, she led for
many years a life of struggle and difficulty,
supporting herself and her family by mak-
ing wax models. Once she lost her whole
stoole by a shipwreck on a voyage to Ire-
land, but she met adversity with a 'stout
heart, and, being frugal as well as inane- ,
trioas, she was at length enabled to set up
her models in London. There she had
forty years of coneeeht prosperity, and
when she died, att e Advanced age of 90,
she lefe a fortune and a host of friends.

and yet I cannot place it distinctly."

with enthusiasm, after, a pause. "I knew

Neither in Great Britain, in Amerffia,
mor in Frence do men and women acquire
by honest labor the wealth needed to
indulge in snob iuxury as is here hinted at.
Only the possessors of monopolies—of
means to take tribute from their fellow-
men—oan get such wealth as is here
betokened. Many of the very. rhea' get
the wealth by chargiog their poorer fellow
countrymen a rental for the nee of land.
Suoh are the Westininsters, the Portlands
and the Argylls in Britain, and the Astore
in America. Others linve Monopolized coal
mines, oil wells, timber lands, salt wells,
copper or silver mines. They cootrol the
supplies and fix their own prices. Others
are " protected " by the tariff laws, that is,
they are enabled to charge more than
honest value for the goods they produce
and sell. Stich are the Havemeyers and
the Carnegies. Others, like the Vander -
hilts and the Goulds, have monopolized the
thoroughfares for transportation. In all
these oases, many are made and kept very
poor, in order that a few may be kept very
rich. To the hard-working man, wboae
children ere barefooted, or whose grocery
bill remains unpaid, there is no consolation
in the thought that his deprivations enable
Lady Brooke to wear diamond fish stitched
to her satin dress. The poor man produces
abundant wealth by his labor to keep bim-
self and his family in comfort. Were the
taxation system remodelled, so as to take
the profits of monopolies away from pri-
vate individuals and give them to the
State, the poor rnan could keep hie entire
earnings for himself. Lady Brooke might
have to go to e, peirty without her diamond
fish ornaments, but jack and Lizzie would
have butter for their bread.
Moth spots.
, ,
Moth apote are indicative of lex habits of
life. Phyeicians claim that they can be
eradicated by correction. Nursing women
and those who pass much of their time in
manly ventilated homes are predispoged to
these blemishes of he fees and neck.
Coarse food, such as green "peek, corned
beef, tripe, cabbage and carrot, excessive
use' of:pepper, mutes, vinegar and pickles,
and irregularities in diet are eupposed to
contribute to the development of moth
spots. There is nothing in this world so
remediable for MI sorts of disorders and
imperfections as ffrogi air; ont.dooe life,
temperance, sitnplicity of food, and abun-
dant sleep. ^

read the Toronto papers one would think
there was something ping on there, and so
there has, but of all the miserable, mean,
absorbing (financially) frauds ever perpe-
trated on the public the Toronto Summer
Carnival stands unrivalled. It knocks
leap:Lunde humbugs out of eight, because
there is oot even an elephant to be seen,
and Barnum generally had something. a
There is absolutely =thing attractive in
the thing teeing on across the lake, but it le
very attraoting, judging from the presence
of thousands of poor dupes who have been
mulcted, out of their cute to pay the inflated
hotel rates or buy a lunoh at some of the
gingerbread restaurants. If a crowd of
people wandering aimlessly about the
muddy streets of the most eelfish city on
the continent is it Grand Summer Carnival,
then Toronto has got one. Some of the
people in the shops which line ai few of the
mem roads have hang out festoons of bunt-
ing, and there are four colored lights at one
of the peinoipal crossings, which giveipeo-
ple passing under them a more stalely
expression for the time being, and *retie
about the e17.3 of it. Why, the Toronto
show is only it poor imitation of the little
jollification up in Hamilton last year.
There was something homiest about the
Hamilton affair; there is nothing in the
Toronto concern but a big game of grab.
If the St. Catharines people who have
vieited Toronto this week had chipped in
the money they have spent for a demonstra-
tion of spine kind at home, they could
have arranged a more creditable display
and shown visitors as pretty a little spot
as there is in the world. There is only
one comfort in considering this humbug:
ao many outsiders will be dieguated that it
may keep thousands away from the
Toronto Fair, another circus performance
ran for the purpose of getting the rest of
Canada to pay the taxes' of the Toronto
people. Toronto certainly knows how to
boom Toronto, and the people join hands
and shout lustily, but the day of tribute
paying to the greedy raonster will oerme
when the inhabitants of outside cities fully
realize the extent to which they are being
bled. Tbe Toronto carnival, we again
repeat, is a gigantic humbug.—St. Cath-
arines Star.
OTT OF DEBT.
The cession of Heligoland to Germany
has drawn the attention of the world to
'the little island. Its history has been
reviewed, its position on the map of
Europe scanned and the probable effect of
its change of ownership discussed. The
London Financial News gives's, very glow-
ing account of the financial etanding of the
island:
"Its revenue," it says," exceeds its expendi—
ture, its assets are considerable, it is without,
liabilities, and whdle there is no public debt.
there is a small reserve; and all this without
there being any trade worth mentioning, and,
beyond the fisheries, no industries. The annual
report of Governor Barkly for 1889 is a simple.
;unvarnished tale of prosperity. The revenue
.for the year was 09,577 2s. 5c1,, the largest yet
collected in Heligoland, while the expenditure
was £8,080 Os. 4d. The assets of the colony at
the end of the year were 44,290, and there was
but ono liability—the magnificent sum of 410,

dently needed the moneys° little that he did not
present his little bill 'until it we.s too late to be
included in the payments of the year. Under
the head of public debt the only remark in the
Blue Book is nil '—a statement that will excite
thd envy of many more important communities.
The Post -Office Savings Bank, which seems to
have penetrated even to Heligoland, has shown.
admirable results, and, according to the report
we have already quoted, there were in 1889 198
depositors, against 175 the year before. while the
amount to credit of depoeitors was .81,219 Is. 6d.

not only self-supporting, but retureur a email

cellent Government institution is the school,
which has 355 pupils. who paid last year £120 itt
school fees, A position on the Legislative Coun-
cil of Heligoland must be a sinecure, for only
seven ordinances were passed last year, the most
notable one of which provides for summary pun-
ishment for perjury—a vital measure, it may be
presumed, where the chief occupation of the
population is letting apartments. The fisheries
are, next to the letting of lodgings to summer
visitors, the most lucrative employment of the
people, and last year the total take was valued.
at L5,500. The inhabitants own 170 boats, em-
ployed chiefly in the cod, haddock and lobster
fisheries. Crime of a serious character is almost
unknown, and last year only twenty-five minor
offences were reported, while there were but
nine convictione. The population is estimated
by Governor Barklv at 200.
